Description

Method for separating and recovering aluminum in acid leachate of waste lithium iron phosphate battery positive electrode material by extraction method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for separating aluminum from acid leachate of a positive electrode material of a waste lithium iron phosphate battery, in particular to a method for separating aluminum from the acid leachate of the positive electrode material of the waste lithium iron phosphate battery by using an extraction method, and belongs to the technical field of waste lithium ion battery recovery and metallurgical environmental engineering.
Background
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in the fields of new energy automobiles, information appliances, base station energy storage and the like due to their excellent characteristics of high energy density, high average output voltage, no memory effect, quick charging, wide temperature range and the like. Lithium ion batteries are mainly classified into Lithium cobalt oxide batteries, nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary batteries, and Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. Statistically, the production capacity of lithium ion batteries has increased from 56 hundred million in 2015 to 154 hundred million in 2019. The related statistics and model prediction results show that the output of the lithium ion battery in China can reach 283 hundred million in 2023. Among them, LFP batteries are increasingly valued by the market due to their significant advantages of high specific discharge capacity, stable discharge capacity, good cycle performance, strong thermal stability, no memory effect, low price, etc. However, the service cycle of the LFP battery is generally 5-8 years, and when the remaining capacity is 80%, the LFP battery needs to be retired, and when the remaining capacity is 60%, the LFP battery needs to be completely scrapped. The next two years are the retirement peak period of the lithium iron phosphate power battery in the field of new energy automobiles which are put into the first wave of China. The ministry of industry and informatization of the people's republic of China clearly indicates that the recycling of waste power batteries of new energy automobiles in China is already on an initial scale, but the recycling of LFP batteries faces the problem of poor economy, and the vigorous development of the LFP batteries is restrained. Therefore, the realization of the full-component recycling of the waste LFP battery material in a green and economic way is a necessary requirement for realizing the sustainable development of the battery industry.
The LFP battery consists of a metal shell, an organic electrolyte, a diaphragm and positive and negative electrode materials. The aluminum foil is connected with the positive electrode of the battery, and the copper foil is connected with the negative electrode of the battery. The wet process is a mainstream technology for recycling waste LFP battery materials at present, and the process is based on discharging, disassembling and sorting the waste LFP batteries, leaching part or all of valuable metals in an LFP positive electrode material by using various inorganic acids or organic acids, and then realizing the recycling of the lithium iron phosphate battery through subsequent separation and synthesis. The existing process for selectively recovering lithium is quite mature, but the current-stage technology cannot realize the complete separation of a current collector aluminum foil and an LFP positive electrode material in the separation process. Moreover, because the olivine-structured lithium iron phosphate is very stable, the reaction of the active metal aluminum and the acid is faster than the leaching process of the lithium iron phosphate powder. Therefore, aluminum is completely dissolved in the process of acid leaching the LFP positive electrode material, so that the aluminum enters a lithium iron phosphate precursor-hydrated iron phosphate product synthesized by using the acid leaching solution, the introduction of the aluminum can obviously reduce the battery capacity of the regenerated LFP battery, the electrochemical performance of the battery is influenced, and iron and phosphorus in the waste materials are difficult to be effectively utilized in a high-value mode. Therefore, in the process of recycling valuable metals in the acid leachate of the waste LFP battery positive electrode material, aluminum in the acid leachate needs to be preferentially separated.
At present, few reports about the purification and aluminum removal of acid leaching solution of waste lithium iron phosphate battery materials at home and abroad are reported. Chinese patent (publication No. CN 106910889B) discloses a method for regenerating positive active substances from waste lithium iron phosphate batteries, which is realized by adopting a combined process of sulfuric acid leaching-iron powder reduction-alkali liquor aluminum precipitation-phosphorus source supplement-lithium iron phosphate regeneration on the basis of salt water discharge and disassembly, and the method mainly comprises the step of adjusting the pH value of a solution system by adding active metal hydroxide to ensure that Al is regenerated3+With Al (OH)3The form of (a) precipitates. The traditional chemical precipitation method has undesirable treatment effect, and white Fe is generated due to overhigh local pH caused by adding hydroxide3(PO4)2And other active metal ions entering the solution system easily enter the regenerated lithium iron phosphate battery material, so that the electrochemical performance of the lithium iron phosphate battery material is reduced. Chinese patent (publication No. CN 110643814A) discloses a method for removing aluminum and recovering waste lithium iron phosphate batteries, which is based on iron powder reduction and also adds a pH regulator: the pH value of the aluminum-containing acidic solution is adjusted by the synergy of urea, hexamethylenetetramine and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, and Al in the solution system is adjusted3+Removed as phosphate precipitate. Although the method has good effect, other impurity ions are introduced in the process of adjusting the pH, and the method greatly loses the phosphorus source. In addition, excessive iron powder is also likely to enter the regenerated battery, affecting the relevant performance. In addition, the valuable metal aluminum finally enters waste residues which are easy to cause secondary pollution, and is not effectively recycled.

Comparative example 2
Taking the acid leaching solution of the anode material of the waste lithium iron phosphate battery with the aluminum content of 2.7g/L, the iron content of 90.4g/L and the lithium content of 11.4g/L, adjusting the pH to 2.42, taking 30% naphthenic acid and 70% kerosene obtained after saponification of concentrated ammonia water as an extraction system, extracting under the condition that the volume ratio of an organic phase to a water phase is 1:1, the extraction time is 10min, the extraction temperature is 25 ℃, carrying out phase separation for 2 minutes after the reaction is finished, taking the water phase to send ICP to analyze the concentrations of aluminum, iron and lithium in raffinate, wherein the concentration of Al in the raffinate is 2662ppm, the single-stage extraction rate of the obtained aluminum is 1.4%, the loss rate of the iron is 0.8% and the loss rate of the lithium is 0.1%.
In the embodiment, 4.8mol/L dilute sulfuric acid is used as a stripping agent, the volume ratio of the loaded organic phase to the stripping agent is 1:1, the mixture is oscillated for 10min at 25 ℃, the phase separation is carried out for 3 min after the reaction is finished, and the water phase is taken and sent to ICP (inductively coupled plasma) to analyze the concentration of aluminum in the stripping solution, so that the single-stage stripping rate is 48.3%.
The two comparative examples illustrate that even if an acidic extractant is used but a phosphonic acid extractant is not used, even if the phosphonic acid extractant is not saponified, the pH in the extraction process cannot be well controlled, so that selective extraction and separation of aluminum in an acid leaching solution cannot be realized, a good separation effect of an aluminum and a lithium iron solution cannot be obtained, and thus high-valued utilization of waste lithium iron phosphate battery materials cannot be effectively realized. In the back extraction process, the mixed solution of sulfuric acid and potassium sulfate is adopted to effectively promote the back extraction reaction, and the back extraction solution can be well recycled and is also beneficial to the recycling of the extractant.
